Bully-proofed by “35 years” of “public service”

“what the American people are looking for right now is straight answers to tough questions, and that is not what we’ve seen out of Senator Clinton on a host of issues.”

- Senator Barack Obama answering a question fielded to him by CNN plant Wolf Blitzer at last night’s Democratic debate in Nevada

“I don’t mind taking hits on my record, on issues, but when somebody starts throwing mud, at least we can hope that it’s both accurate and not right out of the Republican playbook,”
-Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton

Other excerpts from today’s Washington Post:

Asked whether she supports giving driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants — the question she flubbed on Oct. 30 — Clinton simply said “No,”

Clinton talked at length about her role as a female candidate, saying she had not played the “gender card.” Pressed to explain why, in recent weeks, she had described the campaign as a “boys’ club,” Clinton paused and looked at the questioner. “Well, it is clear, I think, from women’s experiences that from time to time, there may be some impediments,” she said.

Asked whether she is exploiting her status as a woman, Clinton said: “I’m not exploiting anything at all. I’m not playing, as some people say, the gender card here in Las Vegas. I’m just trying to play the winning card.” She added: “People are not attacking me because I’m a woman. They’re attacking me because I’m ahead.”

C’mon, Hillary…..keep it simpleKeep it simple.

Just a wee little blog post, throwing mud right out of my “Republican Playbook”.

After all: I’m a Republican plant off the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy Plantation….

And you know what I’m talking about.
